Title: First time CT'er!
Post by: Rapson on March 29, 2012, 06:33:51 PM: Hey Guys,
Long time camper (Boy scout back in the day) and have just bought my first camper trailer. Picked up a super cheap import job for just $3000. The guys importing them had a new shipment comming in and needed it gone! It is cheap and nasty but will allow us to test the waters and give the handbrake enough comfort to do a few trips to see if an improved model is worth the investment. Semi offroad version with shockies, has 100lt water tank with electric pump attached to the hinged kitchen, 18ft tent with annex, two tool boxes and spare tyre. Has lockable boxes all around with a gas bottle and jerry can holder on the front.
Got a trip planned to Wooli and Port Macquarie next week. Planning to stay at caravan parks so we have hot showers and supplies near by if needed.
See you all out and about!

Good luck on your trip, don't forget to season it before you go, with all the wet weather we've had you don't want your wife to find out it leaks whilst you're away.

It dosen't matter what you are towing, so long as you are out there enjoying it....

Both Wooli & Port are great places to test the water.

Regards

Mmm seasoning, forgot about that one, will be on tomorrow list! Cheers!
